MESSAGE FROM
THE PRESIDENT
Dear members, partners and staff,
Thank you all for making 2010 such an interesting and rewarding
year. 2010 turned out to be very eventful indeed for our Association. We began in January with the recruitment of our new Director,
Leonard Engel, who started his work for the Association on 1 April.
We proceeded to the election preparations and in June had the
results of our first elections within the new governance structure.
Since September the new governance bodies have been in place
and are finding their working ways.
Gudrun Paulsdottir,
Despite the economic crisis, we once again had a successful attendance at the conference in Nantes, which was a very pleasant
surprise. The exhibition was larger than ever and the evaluations
show that we have succeeded in keeping the high quality we are
known for. Thank you all for that contribution.
We continued our joint work in the EAIE-FEDORA working groups.
A decision about a possible merger will be made in September 2011
by FEDORA to be followed by a decision by EAIE in November 2011.
A new financial structure was developed during the autumn that
will be of great support in our future decision making. The increased requests over the past year for our input, expertise and
presence at various events and activities have been considerable
and enjoyable. We have deepened our cooperation with a number
of partners throughout the Association, which opens up for an
interesting future. 2011 has all the potential to become another very
successful and busy year for all of us.

MESSAGE FROM
THE DIRECTOR
In 2010, changes were made in the Office to better accommodate
the increasing demands on our expertise and support. In addition
to the regular workload, projects were initiated to allow the Office
to keep up with an ever-professionalising association: the financial administration was completely overhauled, giving the EAIE
leadership insights into financial information necessary for making
informed strategic decisions; personnel policy has been professionalised and the Office staff worked on the roles and strategic goals
for the Office.
In addition, the decision was made to change to a new database for
our membership and conference/events registration. The system
is the backbone for EAIE operations and implementation will be
effective in 2011. A lot of energy has gone into the creation of the
new professional development programme, the EAIE Academy,
which will be launched in November 2011. Most of you experienced
the Nantes Conference, which could not have been such a success
without the extreme team effort of the Office.
As always in an organisation like ours, people come and go. The
structure and the people in the Office by year end can be seen in
the office organogram.
The coming year will hopefully reflect the results of this year’s extra
efforts. Communications will be an important focus point in 2011,
with a complete overhaul of the EAIE website as the most noticeable result.
I want to thank the Office staff for their open mindedness, their
flexibility and their unequalled commitment to the Association.

CONFERENCE
NANTES 2010
— Lisa MacPherson
Over 3500 participants from 82 countries came together in Nantes
for the 22nd Annual EAIE Conference. During four days, participants networked, shared ideas and developed new and old partnerships. While the record attendance of 2009 was not surpassed,
the conference offered more sessions and workshops and a wider
range of topics than ever before, as well as the largest EAIE Exhibition to date (over 1700 m2). The programme featured visits to 13
surrounding institutions of higher education and three high-level
seminars. Many aspects of the programme focused on the relationships between higher education institutions and enterprises.
The conference, organised in collaboration with the Conférence des
Grandes Ecoles Pays de la Loire, made a significant impact on the
city of Nantes and was the largest conference ever to be held at the
venue.
Participants were treated to a powerful keynote address by Leymah
Gbowee, Founder of the Women Peace and Security Network
Africa (WIPSEN-Africa). The screening of her documentary Pray
the Devil Back to Hell and Q&A session brought tears to many eyes
while her keynote address called the EAIE and its participants to
action.
The Closing Plenary featured a keynote of a lighter nature by
François Delarozière, Artistic Director of French company La
Machine. Participants enjoyed a surprise visit by his giant elephant
during the EAIE Dinner.
The EAIE is working hard with its 2011 University Partner, the Copenhagen Business School, to bring the largest expected number
of participants to Copenhagen from 13–16 September and offer an
even stronger programme.

PROFESSIONAL
DEVELOPMENT
PROGRAMME
2010
— Ruth Graf
Professional development for our membership, and international
education professionals at large, is one of the main aims of the
EAIE. Our programme offers international educators unique opportunities to learn from colleagues/experts/peers in various fields
such as international relations, admissions and credential evaluation, students services, marketing and recruitment. Our aim is to
offer high quality training activities facilitated by highly experienced
course leaders and ensure that participants and their institutions
receive added value, thanks to:
• the European and international context and audience;
• the opportunity to benchmark one’s own institutional experiences with that of others;
• direct access to the latest information on developments of
Higher Education in Europe and worldwide, and its impact on
individual institutions.
In 2010, the number of events on offer remained stable, whereas
overall participation numbers declined slightly, presumably due in
part to budget cuts at higher education institutions. To ensure innovation within our programme and create a more attractive learning
environment for international educators, we have developed the
EAIE Academy. Offering a number of parallel activities on various
topics within one week and at one location, the Academy will offer
participants additional viewpoints, expertise and networking opportunities besides the content and activities of the training course(s)
they attend. We hope that many of you will join us for our first
Academy in November 2011. Welcome!

Servicing our members and professionals in the field of international education is at the heart of the EAIE’s mission. 2010 marked the
first stage of a year-long project to overhaul our website and online
services. Our goal is to provide you with the state of the art tools
that you need to exchange ideas, network with fellow professionals
and find the latest information about developments in the field.
As we continue to professionalise, we look for new opportunities to
share with you the extensive range of expertise among our membership. In May 2010 we were approached by Raabe Academic
publishers to become the sole Editor of their Handbook Internationalisation of European Higher Education, beginning in 2011.
01
In addition to these new endeavours, we continue to offer our members informative publications. In 2010 we were pleased to conduct a
number of interviews for our member magazine, Forum: Alex Olde
Kalter, who reflected on his decade-long leadership of the Association as Director of the EAIE; Emmanual Davidenkoff, one of France’s
most influential education professionals and Groupe l’Etudiant’s Editor-in-Chief; and Leymah Gbowee, keynote speaker at the Nantes
Conference and leader of the women’s movement that ended the
14-year civil war in Liberia.
02
The fourth volume in the EAIE Toolkit series was published in the
summer of 2010. Internationalisation and Quality Assurance, edited
by Adinda van Gaalen, was also restyled, bringing it in line with the
current EAIE branding.

PROFESSIONAL
SECTIONS
ACE
EDC
Admissions Officers and Credential
Evaluators
Educational Cooperation with
Developing Countries
ACE is actively seeking representation in ‘old’
and ‘new’ networks. Starting in 2009, ACE
succeeded in being admitted as an observer
to the annual ENIC-NARIC network meeting;
a vantage point to learn about new upcoming European Commission (EC) and Council
of Europe (CoE) policies geared towards
recognition. As for new networks, ACE has
been sought out by European Consortium on
Accreditation (ECA) as representing body
for the admissions and evaluation sector
in its current EC funded projects on joint
programmes and joint degrees, most recently
JOQAR (Joint programmes: Quality Assurance and Recognition of degrees awarded).
Authenticity has become one of the key
sectors of ACE expertise. Each Annual EAIE
Conference now includes ACE workshops
and sessions on these topics, plus a training
course. These consistently receive high evaluations. Building upon the expertise in authenticity, ACE has also stimulated the debate on
Digital Student Data Portability (DSDP). ACE
is now nurturing DSDP as a Task Force with
association-wide relevance.
For EDC, the Annual EAIE Conference in
Nantes was the highlight of 2010. There were
two EDC workshops and 10 EDC sessions.
The workshops and EDC dinner were fully
booked and the Opening Session was packed.
This shows an increasing interest among participants in topics related to cooperation with
the higher education sector in developing
countries. The EDC Board was pleased to experience so many participants being touched
by the keynote speech and documentary by
Leymah Gbowee from Liberia. The EDC Board
feels an obligation to follow up on this enthusiasm in the coming years.
EBS
Economics and Business Studies
EBS had a highly successful conference in
Nantes, with the most ever sessions. It offered
four workshops, seven sessions, the Café
Connect in its Opening Session and a superb
dinner at Le Rive Gauche. EBS satisfies a
niche group of business school participants,
which the workshops on website design and
strategic partnering clearly demonstrate. EBS
has a new and eager Board and has made a
‘generation transition’ with the old Board taking up other posts within the EAIE.
EMPLOI
Employability skills, graduate careers and
international internships
2010 was a busy year for EMPLOI. With over
60 proposals for sessions, we developed a
broad and rich track for the conference in
Nantes. We also had our biggest and best
reception ever, sponsored by Petrus Communications. The contest generated great
ideas for topics to cover in the future. The
other big success of 2010 was our work on
the merger with FEDORA. Nieke Campagne
from Leiden joined us as a resource person
from FEDORA, as did Ignacio Sanchez Garcia
Abril from Valladolid. FEDORA Employment
and Career Guidance Group (FECG) members contributed to sessions in Nantes and
more proposals from FECG members will be
included in Copenhagen. We hope this will
lead to further cooperation and a full merger
by the end of 2011.
IRM
International Relations Managers
IRM (sponsored by six institutions) joined up
with M&R and organised a very successful
reception in Nantes for over 350 members.
During the conference, IRM also organised
a brainstorming breakfast with new IRM
members in order to better understand the
wishes of its membership and provide a forum for interaction. IRM continues to work on
strategic initiatives in order to engage new
members and regions.
LICOM
Languages for Intercultural
Communication and Mobility
For LICOM, 2010 was a year of change. After
having been Chair of the PS for eight years,
Christian Timm handed the leading role of
LICOM over to Sabine Pendl. Timm is the
author of several articles for EAIE publications and constantly promoted the EAIE and
LICOM’s goals in sessions and workshops
at conferences such as NAFSA or TESOL.
Within the last few years, he managed to
foster the issue of languages within the
organisation and to keep it closely connected
to intercultural communication. Although no
longer Chair, Timm will remain involved as
LICOM’s Vice-Chair.
M&R
Marketing and Recruitment
M&R looks back on 2010 with great satisfaction. The section organised three successful
and training courses (Marketing in the Digital
Age; International Recruitment 101; Working
with Recruitment Agents) in Amsterdam,
Barcelona and Berlin respectively, and the
evaluations of the courses were very positive.
The existence of a healthy demand for knowledge sharing and best practices in the field of international marketing and recruitment was further confirmed at the Nantes
conference, where the four M&R workshops were sold out
and all of the sessions were well attended and were rated
highly. The joint M&R/IRM reception also drew a record
number of affiliates.
MOPILE
Management of Programmes in Lifelong Education
2010 was a year of reflection and change for MOPILE. Not
only was there a change in Board members, an action plan
has been developed and served as food for thought regarding MOPILE’s objectives. As international mobility and
European project management remain essential topics for
international educators, in and outside Europe, a transparent and efficient communication of both objectives will be
the next step for 2011. In order to develop a strong link with
the colleagues at the European Commission and the Executive Agency, several of these colleagues were invited to
the MOPILE dinner in Nantes. The basics for more efficient
cooperation have been developed and will be fine-tuned
in 2011.
SAFSA
Study Abroad and Foreign Student Advising
According to the affiliation numbers, SAFSA is one of the
EAIE’s largest Professional Sections. Concerned about
whether we still meet the needs of our growing membership and eager to anticipate members’ expectations for
the future, an online questionnaire was sent out to 1063
SAFSA affiliates in the summer of 2010. It focused on three
main areas of interest: who are our members, what are
their main responsibilities as advisors, and in what way do
current training courses and conference topics relate to
their needs and expectations in terms of variety, quality
and scope. Many interesting statistics and comments were
gathered and in general we were advised to “be more
open to newcomers and provide services to experienced
practitioners.”

We participated in the 7th

strengthened connections
with colleagues from Slovenia,
Belgium, Spain, Ireland and the
Czech Republic. At the Annual
EAIE Conferences we supported, among other presentations,
a successful workshop on mental health issues in study abroad
programmes and screened a
film promoting disability rights.
We also began an examination of the distribution of the
Erasmus ‘special needs grant’
across Europe and will meet
with the European Commission
in early 2011 to further this work
and discuss broader questions
affecting the participation of
students with disabilities in the
Erasmus programme.
In order to explore possibilities of a future merger,
FEDORA (Forum Européen
de l’Orientation Académique/
European Forum on Student
Guidance) became a preliminary SIG in the EAIE as of
February 2010. Working groups
between subsections of both
organisations met to look into
the options for a merger. A
steering group, consisting of
Board members from both associations, monitored the process. FEDORA events in 2010
included: Careers Guidance &
Employment Group Conference ‘Unlocking the potential
- The role of Higher Education
Careers Advisors and Recruiters in equipping students for
a European labour market’ in
Bordeaux, 3–4 June and the
Psyche-Group (Psychological
Counselling in HE) conference
‘Transitions’ in Alicante, 17-19
November.
The Open Session and the
HI dinner at the Annual EAIE
Conference were a success.
After an interesting session,
also attended by many new
participants, a lively discussion
took place regarding topics for
future sessions. During the dinner, participants were asked to
move seats after each course,
which created an informal atmosphere and enabled further
networking. There were also
some changes in the Board:
Margit Sivirsky and Simone
Hoogakker stepped down
but stayed on as advisors and
Evelien Hack became the new
contact person.

2010 was also the first year in

all of them attracting large
